I can be an introvert at times. I know you’re probably thinking, “I don’t believe that R.J. isnt a social butterfly.” Now, I didn’t say all that. What I’m saying is that I’ve never been one to spark up a conversation with strangers, until recently.

The only way that people will know me is if I put myself out there. Over the weekend I was invited to an “Invitation Only” event. First of all, I had no idea that these events even occurred in my own backyard. It was so refreshing to be around people networking, and having a good time.

I learned one valuable lesson over the weekend. It’s very important to stay connected. Stay connected with both new contacts and old. You never know who can lead you to the right person to bless you, and others.

Being active in your community is important. Do what you love, and forget about the rest. I’m going to spend this Memorial Day reconnecting with old friends, and making new connections.
